I also am known for setting up haunted house trips. I set up 1 to 2 trips every weekend through the whole month of October where I get groups of people together and go to a haunted attraction. This past weekend we did Bates Motel, which is a haunted house, haunted hayride, and haunted corn maze. My favorite, though, is the old asylum.

My costume this year is going to be awesome, as soon as I can find the fabric to make the last part! I'm doing a victorian/steampunk crossover female version of the penguin from the 1950s batman. Purple top hat with veil, black lace parasol, corset, blouse, purple gloves, monocle, cigarette holder, black can-can thigh highs and a purple and black striped bustle skirt with little heeled boots. I am ecstatic over it, since I've been planning it for a while now but never got all the parts together before.

Two years ago I was a film noir poison ivy, which was ALSO tons of fun!

Damn!! The haunted trips sound wicked fun and the pumpkin carving themed night as well... remember there's always cider to be made "spiked." Your costume sounds awesome... I see you put a lot of thought into it. Have fun!!

I'm so looking forward to it! For the last haunted house we took a half gallon of cider and put 1/2 a bottle of spiced rum into it. SO DELICIOUS~!

Our neighborhood association is starting a community garden. We have a BIG Halloween Party every year, and this year we want to have a table about the garden, so I'm going as a "gardener." Bought a pair of overalls yesterday, gonna wear a flannel shirt under them and have lots of garden tools and seed packets tucked into all the pockets... Hmmmm, just thought, I'll need some sort of gardening hat! Have to look through my stuff.

I don't celebrate halloween in any sense. Whilst it may seem weird or superstitious to many, I have a strong dislike & fear of all things supernatural / ghostly / hauntings and try not to "open these doors", even through innocent fun.

With that said, I'm very glad that ScandalAndy posted the above link. I will gladly fall head over heels in love with anyone who wears the below costume:

I absolutely LOVED that costume. Although, I was originally planning to go as Merida from "Brave".

Halloween is our favorite "holiday".
So much so, we decorate our house in a not-so-kid-friendly fashion.
We appreciate the gore and the scary shock value.

We've been called the Haunted House. We love it!

With that being said, we didn't do too much decorating this year.
Last year we went all out with fog machines, special lighting and our best creepy figures. I estimate we have thousands of dollars worth of Halloween decorations and such ... that's how much we love it.

But, we took it light this year.

Next year is another story.

MUAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

All three of us are wearing costumes this year. The man cub wants to stay home and play the piano while candy is being handed out. At some point we all need to go show off our costumes so we will be dining at Hamburger Mary's.
